New,
I got this from the merger section, unofficial guide to Delta reserve thread.....
You can understand a lot about the rules if you remember that you need to get 9 hours rest and need to acknowledge trips 3 hours before report. 9 + 3 = 12, which is the long call leash.
Hopefully we will be seeing some educational publications very soon.

Like 29 said - long call is a 12 hour call out. Short call is a two hour call and can be either a 12 hour block (domestic) or a 24 hour block (international). Kind of socks for the international guys since with the same 6 short call periods an international pilot is on short call for twice as long as a domestic guy.

I know Shuttle America is now flying 25% of our flying but there is a continued discconnect between FO/CA...

Problem is that the MEC as stated by Lee at the LEC 44 meeting, all of those other other airlines are in their current cash situation, unlike DAL because there scope is too tight. The MEC as conveyed by LM sees regional feed and it lower cost as a profit maker that betters the balance sheet and the mainline rates here at DAL. Places like CAL, and AMR are in their minds having issues because they cannot effectively operate the correct jet for the route.
I say, this because that is where the thinking is of our union leadership.
The argument is that we cannot pay rates like that here, and we cannot pay mainline rates for those just, etc. IE lets not find a solution.

Sounds just like the statements made by the MEA030 leadership. Good luck.

It pushed so much flying onto the FO's that it made 38 hard lines and 34 rsv lines. That's near 95% rsv coverage and I still cannot drop crap. Compared to the aprox 48 CA lines & aprox 24 rsv lines? I DON'T GET IT??

That only applies once you actually start flying. The initial call is all the FARs guarantee prior to departure. Once you're on the rotation, the extra rest rules kick in.
